The reason for that is that those methods will use the current locale on the user's device, and even though the code appears to work correctly when you are developing the app, it will fail in some locales. For example, in the Turkish locale, the uppercase replacement for i is not I.

+There are cases where this is intentional. For example, you may have a dedicated large tablet layout which adds some extra widgets that are not present in the phone version of the layout. As long as the code accessing the layout resource is careful to handle this properly, it is valid.

+When you create Android projects, the classpath is set up such that you can only access classes in the API packages that are included in Android. However, if you add other projects to your libs/ folder, there is no guarantee that those .jar files were built with an Android specific classpath, and in particular, they could be accessing unsupported APIs such as java.applet.

+
+If you really want to use this API and don't need to support older devices just set the minSdkVersion in your AndroidManifest.xml file.
+If your code is deliberately accessing newer APIs, and you have ensured (e.g. with conditional execution) that this code will only ever be called on a supported platform, then you can annotate your class or method with the @TargetApi annotation specifying the local minimum SDK to apply, such as @TargetApi(11), such that this check considers 11 rather than your manifest file's minimum SDK as the required API level.
+
+If you are deliberately setting android: attributes in style definitions, make sure you place this in a values-v11 folder in order to avoid running into runtime conflicts on certain devices where manufacturers have added custom attributes whose ids conflict with the new ones on later platforms.

This ensures that your application continues to work, but it may look out of place. For example, if the targetSdkVersion is less than 14, your app may get an option button in the UI.
+
+To fix this issue, set the targetSdkVersion to the highest available value. Then test your app to make sure everything works correctly. You may want to consult the compatibility notes to see what changes apply to each version you are adding support for: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html]]> + MINOR + Correctness + + + Override + Method conflicts with new inherited method + isDestroyed(). At some later point, a method of the same name and signature is added to Android. Your method will now override the Android method, and possibly break its contract. Your method is not calling super.isDestroyed(), since your compilation target doesn't know about the method.
+
+The above scenario is what this lint detector looks for. The above example is real, since isDestroyed() was added in API 17, but it will be true for any method you have added to a subclass of an Android class where your build target is lower than the version the method was introduced in.
+
+To fix this, either rename your method, or if you are really trying to augment the builtin method if available, switch to a higher build target where you can deliberately add @Override on your overriding method, and call super if appropriate etc.

The main reason you'd create an instance this class directly is because you need to format/parse a specific machine-readable format, in which case you almost certainly want to explicitly ask for US to ensure that you get ASCII digits (rather than, say, Arabic digits).
+
+Therefore, you should either use the form of the SimpleDateFormat constructor where you pass in an explicit locale, such as Locale.US, or use one of the get instance methods, or suppress this error if really know what you are doing.]]> + MINOR + Correctness + + + Suspicious0dp + Suspicious 0dp dimension + +

+This is sometimes intentional, for example where you are referring to a view which is provided in a different layout via an include.

However, while many lint checks analyzes the Java source code, where they can find annotations on (for example) local variables, some checks are analyzing the .class files. And in class files, annotations only appear on classes, fields and methods. Annotations placed on local variables disappear. If you attempt to suppress a lint error for a class-file based lint check, the suppress annotation not work. You must move the annotation out to the surrounding method.]]> + MAJOR + Correctness + + + PrivateResource + Using private resources + +

However, that version was copied into new projects, which means that it does not continue to get updated as we improve the default ProGuard rules for Android.
+
+In the new version of the tools, we have split the ProGuard configuration into two halves:
+* A simple configuration file containing only project-specific flags, in your project
+* A generic configuration file containing the recommended set of ProGuard options for Android projects. This generic file lives in the SDK install directory which means that it gets updated along with the tools.
+
+In order for this to work, the proguard.config property in the project.properties file now refers to a path, so you can reference both the generic file as well as your own (and any additional files too).
+
+To migrate your project to the new setup, create a new proguard-project.txt file in your project containing any project specific ProGuard flags as well as any customizations you have made, then update your project.properties file to contain:

This is like the dp unit, but it is also scaled by the user's font size preference. It is recommend you use this unit when specifying font sizes, so they will be adjusted for both the screen density and the user's preference.
+
+There are cases where you might need to use dp; typically this happens when the text is in a container with a specific dp-size. This will prevent the text from spilling outside the container. Note however that this means that the user's font size settings are not respected, so consider adjusting the layout itself to be more flexible.]]> + MINOR + Correctness + + + Deprecated + Using deprecated resources + + MINOR + Correctness + + + MangledCRLF + Mangled file line endings + +

+
+This lint warning checks for two related problems:
+(1) Formatting strings that are invalid, meaning that String.format will throw exceptions at runtime when attempting to use the format string.
+(2) Strings containing '%' that are not formatting strings getting passed to a String.format call. In this case the '%' will need to be escaped as '%%'.
+
+NOTE: Not all Strings which look like formatting strings are intended for use by String.format; for example, they may contain date formats intended for android.text.format.Time#format(). Lint cannot always figure out that a String is a date format, so you may get false warnings in those scenarios.

Therefore, it can incorrectly conclude which activity the layout is associated with and then wrongly complain that a background-theme is hidden.
